Abstract
A memory system and method is provided. The memory system includes a non-volatile memory, a memory interface, and a code processor. The code processor generates a likelihood value for a first read bit, which is read from a first memory cell, from among read bits contained in a codeword read by the memory interface from the non-volatile memory. For example, the likelihood value can be based on the value of the first read bit and on the value of a second read bit read from a second memory cell adjacent to the first memory cell so as to decode the codeword using the generated likelihood value.
